About this provider

Clients I Work With

Adolescents through senior years, helping to improve the quality of life for those experiencing challenges with life transitions and adjustment issues, parenting, trauma/PTSD, anxiety, and depression.

Approach

I embrace an eclectic approach with warmth and empathy, just the way I would want to be cared for. I utilize a strength-based and client-centered means of working with my clients, and employ evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, Cognitive-Behavioral therapy, Solution Focused therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Emotional Freedom technique, Somatic work, and holistic approaches such as Mindfulness Meditation with Visualization.

Beliefs & Lived Experience

Having been a trauma survivor I know first-hand the challenges in embracing change towards a healthier future. If we don’t get to the roots of our pain and reprocess them, we will never truly heal from the inside-on-out and improve quality of life for which we are wholly responsible for.

More About My Practice

I am also a practitioner who is an ally for LGBTQ persons and am comfortable with faith-based approaches woven into the treatment process.
